Our Time For Change is Now ⌛ As we embrace the fierce urgency of now, love requires that, in the words of my father, “we must FOREVER conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline.” Dignity and discipline must be constant, consistent and unrelenting. Protest, we MUST. But we must protest with dignity and discipline. This keeps us rooted in love, focused on the ultimate goal, and committed to noncooperation with evil. Join us for an evening of thoughtful conversation at the Helen Edison Lecture Series with Dr. Bernice A. King. 📅: Friday, May 17 🕰️: 5:00 - 7:30 p.m. Register >> https://bit.ly/3TDPY8s This discussion was part of the #HelenEdisonLectureSeries presented by UC San Diego Extended Studies, which offers free public lectures on issues that advance humanitarian purposes and objectives. #UCSDExtendedStudies
